Constant Screen Freezes. Please help!

Hello..
I don't know what the problem is with my computer but there has been constant screen freezes around every 8-15 minutes, and the only thing I'm able to do is to hold the power button and reboot it up.

It's been happening ever since I've downloaded Operation Optimization. (But I haven't noticed any improvement on the lag on TES IV: Oblivion)

The screen first freezes then I start clicking with teh mouses and a beep sound comes up and teh cursor freezes.

I'm not sure if it's a virus or a computer problem. I have McAfee and all the things like firewall, virus scan, privacy support, ect. has run out and it says I need to subscribe.

Anywho, if anyone could help, it would be GREATLY appreciated.

Dude, you have ZERO protection. What are you waiting for?

Either subscribe or uninstall the entire McAfee suite and install a free alternative.

Free antivirus - Avira AntiVir

AVG Free - Download antivirus and antispyware software for Windows XP and Vista

Frankly, you should pay for a good one. I like Eset NOD32:

ESET - Antivirus Software with Spyware and Malware Protection

Whatever you do, do *something* fast before someone takes complete control of your shiny new PC and demotes you to a simple user. If it gets any more gummed up, you are gonna have to pay someone big bucks to come over and fix it for you.
